1 (8 ounce) package dry small shell pasta
1 lb small cooked shrimp (chopped or left whole)
1 lb cooked crabmeat (can use imitation crab meat)
1 large stalk celery, diced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 large green onions, chopped
1 1/2 cups finely cubed provolone cheese (or use mozzarella cheese or cheese of choice)
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed (optional, or can use 1/3 cup sliced black olives)
1/2 cup mayonnaise (such as Hellman's mayonnaise)
1/2 cup salad dressing (such as Miracle Whip salad dressing)
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2-1 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning (or use more)
salt & freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
hot sauce (to taste, such as Louisiana hot sauce or Tabasco sauce)
whipping cream (use only if needed)

Steps:

  • In a pot cook the shell pasta in boiling water until al dente (leave slightly firm, do not over cook) drain, then rinse the pasta under cold water then allow to drain very well then transfer to a large bowl.
  • Add in cooked shrimp, crab meat, celery, red bell pepper, green onions, cubed mozzarella cheese and thawed peas or black olives (if using) toss to combine.
  • In a bowl whisk together the mayonnaise with salad dressing, sour cream, garlic powder, lemon juice and Old Bay seasoning (start with 1 teaspoon Old Bay and add in more to taste) pour over the salad and toss to combine, then mix in the hot sauce.
  • Season with salt and fresh ground black pepper.
  • If the salad is too dry for your liking then mix in some whipping cream or more mayonnaise.
  • Cover and chill for at least 4 hours or more before serving (the longer chilling time the better).

The seafood in this salad was overcooked and rubbery.

This salad is way too salty! I had to rinse the seafood before I added it to the salad.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't turn out as good as the one in the picture. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This salad is really delicious, but it's a bit too rich for me. I think I'll try making it with a lighter dressing next time.

I love the addition of the avocado to this salad. It gives it a creamy texture and a boost of healthy fats.

I love the combination of seafood and pasta in this salad. It's a great way to use up leftover seafood, and it's also a really healthy and satisfying meal.

This seafood pasta salad is a hit! It's light, refreshing, and packed with flavor. The shrimp, crab, and scallops are cooked perfectly, and the dressing is tangy and delicious. I'll definitely be making this again!
